Well it works for G4S, ATOS etc

...that makes them different from the Tories, of course they don't like it when you bring up how people were actually treated during assessments by ATOS. They really do think that it doesn't matter what they do as long as they say the right things. Like an abusive partner who beats their...

i'll bare that in mind and make sure we have the folder ready for when his happens. hopefully our fucking awesome gp will repeat sending out the letter that they took one look at and gave up on the idea of reasessing him for his dla

12th Feb isn't good for me - ATOS that morning means I may or may not be fit company. But I'm happy for the rest of you to hold the bookgroup that evening. :)

...your DLA" printed on it. Yep, had to fill out the entire fucking thing and send it back in 2 bloody weeks! :mad: As for waiting time, here in south London, my assessment date is mid-Feb, so roughly 8 weeks from return of form to Atos appointment. They then reckon that a result takes 4-8 weeks.

I heard a property developer on the radio a while back contrasting the difference between China and here. He said it was much better in China. To get planning permission all one had to do was take the local party bosses out for lunch and decide it all there and then. Unlike this country where...

...in a micromanaged goldfish bowl where asset ownership is rationed and all policy will be driven by the needs of large corporations - including ATOS, Maximus, Crapita, Greenwich Leisure and Uncle Tom Cobbly and all. Interestingly the US economy is still showing signs of growth, so a gap is...

Okay, that one's fairly well trodden now, so you're in with a chance. :) Get yourself over to the ATOS thread here, no need to read the lot, the first page and then the last will probably be enough. Atos Medicals - Questions, Answers and Support

i do get paid by the state - just benefits though (but the highest rate - which i never had an atos assesment for)

No, they are just there for political reasons. There is absolutely no reason you would put a GR4 in the strike package instead of a Strike Eagle, Hornet, Rafale or even a Mirage 2000 Diesel. They are slow, unreliable and are fussy refuellers that are just taking slots in the ATO away from more...

From what I can make out, they're slightly better in terms of actually not falsifying the answers you give, but they picked up a lot of ATOS's staff when the TOSsers withdrew, and any REAL change also has to take place at the DWP decision-makers level too, before the tide of appeals at shoddy...

and there was me being optimistic and hoping they might be better than Atos or at least not as bad.

Pretty much because Maximus have only been doing it for less than a year, so haven't built up a head of negative publicity in the way that ATOS (who'd been doing ESA WCAs since 2008-09) did. However, given that we've seen plenty of individual anecdote about Maximus being no better or worse than...

Why is there no bad media reports on Maximus finding people fit for work. I know they go under another name now, but the rules have not changed. Atos got a lot of bad press, but maximus or CHDA (cheddar centre-as I have nicknamed them) are still assessing people, but there is a total lack of...

...procedure I wonder, after all the media flak about cruel treatment of ill people. I don't recall this sort of thing being commented on with Atos. I think we might have offered our bus fares after the assessment but here was no info beforehand, and I think they wanted receipts, which we didn't...

I have a question please. There was lots of scandal surrounding ATOS finding people fit for work. Since March 2015, all has gone quiet. I know that Maximus now do the ESA WCA assessments, under the name "The Centre for Health and Disability Assessments Limited" I don't think for one minute...
